Description:

Somebody once said, I don't recall where I read it though, that since often the test of courage is not to die, but to live. If at the end of your life, say, you had an envelope, and it was plain and flat and boring. What does that say about your life?

Now if that envelope was filled to the brim, colorful, had little charms hanging off of it, and trills of stories and cute little things inside and just popping with color and excitement. Then what does that say about your life? You want to experience many things in life, just experience, just live. Pain, excitement, glory, happiness, love, hard times good times odd times fun times..

That's exactly what this swap is about. Your life and experiences, up until now. If your life had to be represented by an envelope, what would it look like? Would it have pictures, colors, glitter? Kisses on the outside, words and items inside? Would it be all black, or just all white? Would it be flat or fulled to the brim with experiences?

You will have one partner, and make this how you percieve your life and experiences. Swappers with 4.9 or higher, no late senders and no recent no sends. (Last 6 mo.) Newbies are welcome with a well filled out profile and at least two mail swaps. I will check. This is about you, please put in some effort. You must include inside a letter of whatever length you wish explaining what everything on/in the envie respresents.

Don't forget to rate your partner and send on time!

this is an AWESOME idea...it really makes you think! I'm putting on my watch list until I clear some swaps out =o) Hope I can get the time to do this one...I want to make sure that I can dedicate a good amount of time to it before committing. But oooohhh it sounds like such a GREAT swap experience.

lovetheearth 07/20/2009 #

Can we make one of the 6in by 9in yellow envelopes? Or does it need to be a white business size one?

Thanks :)

Adrenaline 07/20/2009 #

Im gunna extend the send by date, i agree its not much time. That envelopes fine lovetheearth, just so long as theres effort put into it any color or size is fine, because it`s all a representation of you

wow! There's only 12 of us and we're from 8 different countries. Uruguay, Argentinia, south africa, usa, germany, australia, canada, netherlands....what a fun mix! I can't wait to see what corner of the world I'll be sending TO and where I'll be receiving FROM. fun, fun!!!

Kugusch 09/15/2009 #

Mine's finally out. I did contact the recipient and let her know ahead of time that it'd be late, but it took even longer than expected. My sincerest apologies for that!
